Ron DeSantis is a true dictator. The people’s voice doesn’t matter at all. Yesterday he reappointed a judge that was voted out of office. Today, he re-appointed a school board member, who was booted from office after voted out who he wanted on the school board. Today within hours of swearing-in, DeSantis declares Broward school board member-elect’s seat ‘vacant’ https://www.local10.com/news/local/2022/12/22/ahead-of-swearing-in-desantis-declares-broward-school-board-member-elects-seat-vacant/ Be careful residents of #FloriDuh a vote for #DeSatan is a vote autocracy.
Just finished watching Nic Cage in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
This may or may not be related, but I have the biggest damn smile on my face right now.
Via The Hill:
The #House on Thursday passed a #bill that would require annual #audits of the president’s #taxreturns, codifying #IRS policy after a congressional committee revealed that the agency did not audit #Trump during two years he was in office.
The legislation, titled the Presidential Tax Filings and Audit Transparency Act, passed in an 222-201 vote.
I feel like Nicolas Cage should be an entire genre of film at this point.
Cancel Culture Will Kill Stand-Up Comedy
My latest article for Psychology Today is now live. In it, I discuss the psychology of humor, and how ideological interpretations of jokes risk the future work of some of our more edgy stand-up comedians.

PHOTO BLOG: Earlier this month, a storm chaser from the Netherlands took a wonderful photo showing several textbook ice halos, including a 46-degree halo, a 22-degree halo with parhelion (sun dogs), and an upper tangent arc. https://www.accuweather.com/en/leisure-recreation/live-news/weather-permitting-photo-blog/933860
STAR TREK PRODIGY MINOR SPOILERS
Man! Today's episode of #StarTrekProdigy was PACKED! I loved seeing all of those ships, even if the conditions were less than ideal.
Something quite serious now.
For the past 2 years on the birdsite, I've enjoyed being part of Sarah Millican's #JoinIn - there for anyone on their own over the festive season who would like to join in a group chat to help pass the day.
We've had some great times, and I'm planning to support it here too this year.
If you're lonely, just post #JoinIn so we can spot you, or search for the #JoinIn hashtag, and just join in!
Good idea? Give it a BOOST!
@freemo are there any plans to update to Mastodon version 4.0 or newer any time soon? I think many of us would like to have the ability to follow hashtags. Thank you in advance!

All right #Mastodon, show this #twitterexodus refugee what you can do.
Walked away from 6700 followers because I won't provide content (not directly, at least) or be in the same space as a destructive & dangerous narcissist. This new (for me) place is cool but I do miss being able to post a special #nature #photograph & know it will get seen thousands of times.
I guess that's my #introduction. I rant about #covid #CovidIsNotOver & #LongCovid & I live in a beautiful place. With a foot of snow.
